This is the play in which Vida Reed played a season ago. The many thousands who have read the story form of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" will be impatient to see the play which Mr. Walter, clever dramatist, has evolved from the delightful narrative ef the Virginia hills. Today at the Baker "The Lady From Oklahoma" opens its week's engage ment. This is said to be an unusually brilliant comedy with a stiff punch, an interesting plot full of excitement and laughs. The second act is a sen sational one, showing the inner work ings of a great Fifth-avenue beauty shop. The fact that the comedy has never before been presented here lends additional interest. "Stop, Thief," a farce written by Carlyle Moore, will be the bill at the Heilig all next week. One year in New York is the record of this unique play of mystery. Follows then "The Bird of Paradise" for the week of Novem ber 16. Oliver Morosco produced it and Richard Walton Tully wrote it.

"GIRD FROM MUMMS" TONIGHT Olive Vail Heads Musical Comedy "Which Opens at Heilig. Comedy, excellent music and a ca pable cast are factors upon which a musical comedy success depends, and these are the factors which have placed "The Girl From Mumms," with Miss Olive Vail, which comes to the Heilig Theater, Eleventh and Morrison streets, three nights, beginning tonight, in a class by itself. The book, by J. A. Lacy, is a riot of fun. It has a real plot, making the situations genuine ana not forced, as is so often the case. The music, by F. A. Bohnhorst, is a revela tion, and has already earned for that composer a front rank In the field of light music. Without a trace of a com mon run of music, it affords a genuine pleasure in its very tunefulness, and already "There's a Reason," "The Road to Philadelphia." "Teach Me." and "The Girl of Mumms and Mine," are song hits. Every indication points that "There's a Reason" will prove the big pest hit since "Every kittle Movement" entranced the country. With the advantage of excellent book and muslo the management is present ing a cast of superior merit. Miss Olive Vail in the title role has the best part in which that popular and tal ented artist has yet been heard. That alone would insure success, and sur rounding Miss Vail are such artists as J. I. Oliver. Jackson Barry, John E. Frank, Frank Betrand, Miss Nellie Watters, Miss Laura Crews, Miss Mar jie Dow and Miss Hazel Regan. The mounting of the piece is in keep ing with its merits.

This is largely J X1 her own fault, but she suddenly wakes up upon learning of the presence of another woman, and, going to New York, she gets busy making up for lost time and fitting herself to take her place by his side socially. She is a unique, original character, with a strong mind, plenty of money and a saving sense of humor. She hires in structors to polish her up mentally and physically, and the second act, which takes -place in a big Fifth - avenue beauty parlor in full blast, is quite a sensation in its way. There are hair dressers, manicurists, massage artists, electric baths and all the other para phernalia, with victims undergoing the sweet tortures which feminine martyrs suffer in their efforts to fight old Father Time. This act is a roar of laughter from beginning to end. Mrs. Dixon takes her medicine right down the line, and in th end wins, for she is a pretty woman, and Just needs the polish to change her so that her hus band hardly recognizes her.
